Howie was born on March 24, 1958, the son of Howard N. Jr. and Marion (Dutton) Seckendorf and had lived in Barrington for the past 12 years, moving from Rochester.
Howie's first job in high school was at the former Luneau's Restaurant in Rochester, he worked for Coca-Cola for five years, for Pepsi-Cola for five years and then worked at the Weathervane Restaurant for 14 years. He then went on to open his own restaurant, the Windjammer in Rochester and then opened the Granite Steak Restaurant, purchasing the same building he held his first job at, the former Luneau's Restaurant Rochester with his business partner and nephew, Patrick Gagnon.
Howie was the president of the Rochester Rotary Club and also served on its board of directors, he was on the board of directors at the Rochester Salvation Army, a member of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce and a member of the New Hampshire Restaurant & Lodging Association. He served as a volunteer for the Rochester Homeless Shelter and coached youth baseball in Barrington. In 2009, he was honored by the Rochester Chamber of Commerce as the Business Leader of the Year.
Surviving members of the family include his wife, Kimberly (Knickerbocker) Seckendorf of Barrington; two sons, Justin Seckendorf of Rochester, and Adam Seckendorf of Barrington; two daughters, Stacey Colton and her husband, George, of Somers, Conn., and Molly Seckendorf of Barrington; his grandchildren, Emmabelle Colton, Caroline Colton and Evan Colton; his father, Howard Seckendorf Jr. and his wife, Merry, of Venice Fla.; his mother, Marion Seckendorf of Rochester. He also leaves two brothers, Warren "Smokey" Seckendorf of Salem, and Darrell Seckendorf of Northport, Fla.; four sisters, Deborah Bundza of Rochester, Rebecca Ruel of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, Mary Seckendorf of Rochester, and Kerry Seckendorf of Denver, Colo., as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins.
Howie believed in living life to the fullest. He enjoyed taking many vacations with his wife and family, often reflecting on each trip, thankful to be able to spend the time together before it was too late. Anyone who crossed paths with him along his short journey of life is surely a better person for having known him. He was so proud of Stacey and George, often commenting on how wonderful a mother she has become, and how happy he was that she has George in her life. He always loved spending time with his grandchildren; thankfully they were all together for three days over the Thanksgiving holiday. Howie would also have a big smile on his face whenever anyone asked him about Justin, whom he was proud to call his son. He had such high hopes for Adam and Molly and always wanted to do what he could to make their lives as wonderful as he could. Kim always felt his unconditional, forever love in each smile, glance, and hand held. His presence will forever be felt by many in their hearts and memories.
